An update has surfaced regarding Ridge Holland following his announcement on WWE NXT about stepping away from in-ring competition indefinitely.
During tonight’s broadcast of WWE NXT, Ridge Holland took center stage, delivering a poignant promo.
He expressed his decision to step back from in-ring competition and expressed gratitude to NXT for affording him an opportunity at redemption.
Now, shedding light on the situation, new details have emerged. It appears that the segment that left many fans in disbelief is reportedly part of a carefully crafted storyline.
According to Corey Brennan, as reported by Fightful:
“The cliff notes of it are, Ridge is not going anywhere. It’s storyline. It’s all part of the larger story that they’ve been telling for weeks, if not months now, with Ridge in (WWE) NXT. They’ve been building this storyline up for quite a while.” [H/T – WrestleTalk]
Brennan elaborated that there hasn’t been any resistance to the storyline within NXT, and Holland himself has been a staunch advocate for it.
The WWE Superstar was purportedly motivated to engage in this angle “for a lot of reasons.”
It’s worth noting that Holland has been conspicuously absent from the active section of the WWE roster page, now finding his place in the alumni section of the website.
This revelation adds an intriguing layer to Holland’s recent on-screen narrative, leaving fans speculating about the direction of his character and the unfolding storyline within WWE NXT.
